Galveston - Royal Terminal

[klfrodo]

Just curious what the current boarding experience is for the Grandeur in Galveston.

Currently scheduled for the 11- 11:30 check in time. Jr. Suite

 

Any heads up on traffic around the port and experience with the check in process would be appreciated. We've been on multiple cruises and each embarkation port is its own experience.

When are you sailing?

 

The current terminal in use has no issues, light traffic and many parking lots to choose from.

I drive Harborside frequently as we live here and are 20 blocks to the port.

My wife and daughter board next Wednesday the 29th.

They have someone picking them up at the hotel in Galveston and dropping them off at the terminal.

It’s super easy.  Just follow the police officers directing traffic.  Drive right up to the terminal.  There are porters there to take your bags at the sidewalk.  I usually tip a couple of bucks a bag.  Checkin is a breeze and you’ll either be shown where to sit waiting for your turn, or you’ll just go straight upstairs, depending on how crowded. If you’re so inclined, you may consider a mask inside the terminal, although I don’t think they’re required anymore.  Enjoy your trip and a pre-welcome to Texas.
